What Is Shoulder Dystocia?

Shoulder dystocia can occur when difficulty is experienced in the delivery
of the anterior shoulder of the infant. When this happens, the chin of
the infant often presses against the mother's perineum or pelvis,
which causes puffiness, swelling, or bruising of the infant's face.

Injuries Resulting from Shoulder Dystocia: The procedures and manipulations used to free the newborn's shoulder
and complete the delivery can cause severe and permanent damage to the
child. One of the most common and critical injuries from shoulder dystocia
is a brachial plexus injury, where the nerves to the shoulder, arm, and
hand are damaged. This may permanently impair feeling and mobility to
the child's limb, thus impairing function. This injury is also commonly
referred to as Erb's palsy.

How Can Freidin Brown, P.A. Help You?

Our legal team can help you gather evidence to support your claim; evidence
that can be used as part of our negotiations when we present the negligent
parties with your compensation demand. We even have nurses on staff to
help us with the technical medical components for cases like shoulder
dystocia, which are complex and require thorough analysis of the delivery
and post-birth monitoring.

Our goal is to maximize the compensation for your child's injuries
so he or she can receive the best care, be provided for in the future,
and cope with the limits of his or her injury. Our compensation demand
will include past, present, and future medical bill expenses, future psychological
counseling, and the loss of future earning potential, as well as pain
and suffering.

We prepare every case for trial in order to ensure we're prepared in
the event we have to present our arguments and evidence to a judge and
jury. Our trial attorneys believe in being over-prepared and making sure
the jury looks at every factor of the case and every way your child's
life has - and will - be affected by his or her shoulder dystocia-related
injuries. Contact us today if you have questions about your right to file a
